The striking image of John Carlos raising his black-gloved fist on the platform at the 1968 Summer Olympics has become an iconic image. The image is well known, but his story is not. Dr. Carlos, winner of the bronze medal in the men’s 200-meter race, and renowned American sportswriter Dave Zirin will discuss how sports have helped both to stabilize and to disrupt the political status quo throughout history. They will also examine the history of rebel athletes who dared to fight for social justice beyond the field of play.
